Recorded live in Epping, Sydney NSW 2121 on Thursday, 2 January 2020 at the early hours.

Greetings from The Glocals in the new Decade. All the best from ours to yours!

Welcome back Anna Banana with a new name! She finally got a Viet name after hanging out with the Viet for so long, and we both love it.

On a serious note, I reckon a lot of us have been doing our reflections and thinking about how the last decade went. Personally, this podcast series has helped me put things into perspective a lot. At first, 10 years ago seemed like a long time ago and I thought what I did back then meant little to who I am now. But I was wrong. Me at 14 was the me that made a lot of touch choices. These choices have constantly helped me to become more me everyday. This little reflection has also helped me to never underestimate the power of youth, which lives in me and people so much younger or older than me.

At 14, I couldn’t imagine celebrating 2020 in Sydney with my mom and a newly found best friend. I could never imagine having a life like the one I am leading right now, and I am so thankful for all the things that I get to learn. Somewhat foreign concepts like veganism have come into my life and opened my eyes so much thanks to my beloved friends, and that is what Anna and I discussed in this convo. It is a really good one as we got to really sit down and understand each other’s point of view and find balance in this somewhat taboo topic. Sending messages like veganism is good for the planet and us all can only work when they are delivered in a positive way, so please tune in to hear what we have to say from 2 sides of the table.

All our love,

Anna (Chui) and Lu
